5. Place the unit on the wall a few
inches to the right of where it
detected the stud. Then move it
slowly from right to left, horizontally
across the wall and mark the spot
when stud detects again. Between
the two spots is the stud position.
6. Repeat the process to
confirm position of studs.
Metal Detection
1. Slide the switch to the
“METAL” position.
2. Press and hold Power Button.
Calibrate the unit in air away
from metal objects.
3. The Power LED lights when the
detector is ready to operate.
Position unit flat against wall.
4. Slowly slide unit horizontally
across wall, left to right. Keep the
unit base in contact with the wall.
The Metal LED lights and the unit
starts emitting a steady tone when it
detects the edge of a metal object.
When that happens, mark the spot
over the top center of the detector.
5. Place the unit on the wall a few
inches to the right of where
it detected the metal object.
Then move it slowly from right to
left, horizontally across the wall
and mark the spot when Metal
detects again. Between the two
spots is the metal object’s position.
6. Repeat the process to confirm
position of metal objects.
Voltage Detection
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND
ELECTROCUTION:
The unit will not detect live wires
inside metal pipe or metal conduit,
behind metallic wall covering, or
behind some plywood or other dense
materials. Use extra caution in these
construction situations. Always turn
the power off when nailing, cutting,
or drilling near electrical wire.
NOTE: Because the unit is sensitive
it may indicate metal while passing
through the air. Simply release
Power Button, place on the wall, and
press Power Button on again. This
effectively re‑calibrates the electronics.
The unit detects from 90 to 250 V at
50 to 60 Hz AC in a HOT unshielded
electrical wire that is within 1‑1/2″ of
wall surface. The sensor is located
in the center of the back of the unit.
1. Turn power on in the wall you
will try to detect voltage in.
The power must be turned off later
after detection and before work to
reduce the risk of accidental shock.
2. Slide the switch to the
“VOLT” position.
3. Press and hold Power Button.
Calibrate the unit in air away
from metal objects.
4. The Power LED lights when the
detector is ready to operate.
Position unit flat against wall.
5. Slowly slide unit horizontally
across wall, left to right. Keep the
unit base in contact with the wall.
